FRIDAY
LIVE MUSIC
UTILITY: In-Store Performance & Signing
Portland-based rock duo Utility asks the question, how much sound can two people make? Turns out, a lot. Equipped with a bass, a drum kit, their voices, and modern technology, long-time collaborators and Portland music scene vets RFK Heise and Adam Draper craft bluesy, high-energy alt-rock. Celebrate the release of their latest album How to Protect What’s Left at a free, all-ages performance and signing at Music Millennium. It’s groovy, gritty, and the perfect way to jumpstart yourself out of the Friday fog and into the weekend. Fans 21-and-up can grab tickets to their Bunk Bar show with Tailor Spliff and Quando Quando Quando the following week. SHANNON LUBETICH
